I was going to mention the one time I wish I prepaid was at Denver. Between getting the gas, dropping the car in the next county over and a shift change for the TSA causing the line to backup all of the way around the airport, I ended up running to my gate with two minutes to spare. 

I’m not sure that calling out the union upper brass would have prevented the strike. I am sure NOT bribing the union leads to a strike 99% of the time. 

This. The only reason it is not on the list is because they have never had it.

Then get a motorcycle and use it single occupancy all you want.

Alternatively, chaoss2992 is letting you know that making up subtle rules, which the author acknowledges are not universal and are likely to change in the near future, is very off putting to introverts, to the point they want to stop talking to people all together. Like they were trying to explain that there is a…

Good point. 

Here Are A Few Tips To Guide You Through Winter Driving

The Tesla Cybertruck’s Tent Is The Best Car Tent Since The 2001 Pontiac Aztek

I’m kinda more surprised the carpet is cotton and not some synthetic fire resistant stuff. 

‘Didn’t go as planned’ is the nicest way of saying got caught with his hand in the cookie jar I have ever heard. But let’s face it, the only problem is he got caught doing what everyone else in his position has done. It is kinda like when a politician gets caught having an affair. I don’t mind that they had a affair,…

Not enough stars for this. (I assume the ‘depends on your definition of’ comment is a reference to Clinton’s impeachment)

I would agree, except due to the union contract, they make less money/vehicle than Ford, FCA or any other automaker that manufactures in the US. They make the cars as cheap as possible and still make less than 1/3 of Toyota’s per vehicle profit. 

So the US should not prosecute the UAW heads because it is better for the workers if they are corrupt and embezzling dues?

“Last 15 years”...hahahahhahahahaha

The $8 an hour difference was not to punish the workers (they were still making more than the industry average) it was to punish GM for not giving a significant enough of a bribe.

It is a Mustang inspired SUV that doesn’t look like a Mustang or an SUV. It is like me telling people I have a pet lion, but it is really a house cat. 

What your saying is true for Tahoe vs Escalade, or really almost any premium version of an existing vehicle, but doesn’t really support your idea of brainwashing people. On the other hand, your comment that it would cost just as much to build a small truck to spec as a big truck is EXACTLY the point I have been trying…

So your argument is that the auto industry has brainwashed people into buying cars that cost more to produce? If they had the power to brainwash people, wouldn’t they make them pay more for cars that are cheaper to produce? The margins are higher because people are willing to pay more. It is almost like they listened…

How many of those have to meet safety regs while carrying 2 adults plus 1,000 lbs payload? Or pulling a boat? They are not in the same category.

They are the same safety regs that make the Civic 20% bigger and 100% heavier than the original. Also, the same regs that make many of the vehicles you mentioned keep swelling in size. Making a body on frame truck with a 6 ft bed, like the original commenter was referencing, meet modern regs is a lot different that…
